Status of the cod stock in the eastern Gulf of St. Lawrence / by R. Wells.: Fs70-8/77-15E-PDF

"The cod of ICNAT Divisions 4RS and Subdivision 3Pn (Div. 3Pn4RS) are here considered to form one stock for management purposes. A major characteristic of this stock is a concentration off southwest Newfoundland in the winter and a movement towards the northern of the Gulf in the Spring. Cod stocks in other areas of the Northwest Atlantic have, in recent years, come under management on the basis of total allowable catches. It is the object of this paper to arrive at an estimate of the maximum sustainable yield and provide a basis for management"--Introduction.
